环境史研究兴起之后，日本学界积极尝试开辟具有日本特色的环境史研究创新之路。2010年5月，日本来自不同学科的学者联合发起成立了环境史研究会。环境史研究会发展为日本专门从事环境史研究的团体，学术交流主题十分丰富，涉及的环境史研究领域广阔，并形成了关注中国环境史、殖民地区历史、乡村和森林以及紧扣学术发展最新动向的研究特点。环境史研究会逐步呈现出制度化、规范化的发展趋势，也面临新兴跨学科研究需要深化学科研究发展的严峻挑战。环境史研究会的种种学术努力和发展经验值得中国环境史学界加以关注。
After the rise of environmental history research，Japanese scholars actively try to open up an innovative way of environmental history research with Japanese characteristics. In May 2010，the Environmental History Research Association was jointly founded by scholars from different disciplines，and developed into a group specialized in environmental history research in Japan. The topics of academic exchanges are very rich and the research fields of environmental history are very broad. It has formed the research characteristics of paying attention to the research of Chinese environmental history，the research of “colonial history”，the research of villages and forests and closely related to the latest trends of academic development. After ten years of development，the research association gradually presents the trend of institutionalization and standardization. At the same time，there are emerging interdisciplinary research，which is facing severe challenges of deepening the development of interdisciplinary research. The academic efforts and development experience of the Japanese Society of environmental history deserve the attention of Chinese environmental historians.
